What are we going to do without our parents?

Remember how your parents always made sure

that you ate well before going to school



Even before that, you remember how your mother

carried you around inside her for nine months

Rain or shine, she always ensure you are well protected

Remember your early years when you cannot speak

a single word, your parents always anticipate your

needs, wishes, desires, wants and requirements



How can you forget all the good care your parents

gave you when you were a little child?

Remember the day you returned from school depressed

how your mother took you in her arms and started

singing to you until you cheer up and laugh



Now, that you have some money in your pocket,

how can you forget your parents?

Or you forget that your parents did not have

a very robust bank account just because of you



Your parents feed you well, buy you trendy clothes,

paid your school fees in time, buy your school books!

Your parents taught you to respect your elders

and be an honest and a law-abiding citizen



Now that you are mister big shot or wealthy madam

How can you forget your parents?

Presently, you probably have your own children

You know the time and money involved in raising kids



Will you like to treat your children the way your

parents treated you or better than them?

Search your soul and answer the question

Good luck and happy destiny
